Good Monday morning everyone. Here is hoping each of you had a great Easter weekend! The weather turned out pretty good with a good amount of sunshine. The temps could have used a little bit of work, but we can’t have everything! 
The full sunshine is over with for a few days as low pressure moves in from the west. Today will be a day where we watch a waves of showers and thunderstorms moving across the region. The first wave comes through early then we get into a more scattered brand of precip. There is a shot we get some breaks in the clouds which would aid in afternoon and evening thunderstorm development. Some of those could be strong or severe… especially in the west.
Here is the radar for your storm tracking needs…
The Storm Prediction Center has much of central and western Kentucky outlined for the potential for severe storms…
Large hail and damaging winds will be the main players from these storms. Isolated tornadoes will be possible as well. Here is a map showing the current severe weather watches…
Showers will continue through Tuesday as this low SLOWLY works eastward. Temps will be below normal yet again and that is likely to carry us into Wednesday. Clouds should break up later Wednesday and this will lead to a very nice end of the week with temps likely heading into the 70s!
The blog will watch the severe storms threat today and will have updates as needed so check back. Have a great Monday and take care.

Morning, Chris, and thanks for the update! Hope your Easter was a good one, too. We had some showers overnight, but they were not heavy.
Looks like later today could be more fun and games, huh? Hopefully, it will not be as bad as Friday was!
Well, another new work week. glad to see that the end of the week looks good–at least at this point! I especially like the forecast temps!
Well, have a GREAT Monday, everyone. Chris, I know you will keep us updated on the storms, or possible storms.
Coffee…glad you made it through the wx Friday. Here’s hoping everybody makes it through today also.
As cool as it’s been, we are running 1° above average for the month here in Lawrenceburg, using Frankfort normals.
low frezzing levels again today which means when the sun comes out and the storms fire up hail will the main threat today.
Yeah wasn’t that crazy Friday? Freezing level was just over 8,000 ft. and it seemed like even the lightest storm would drop hail. Almost didn’t even have to be a storm. Hadn’t seen that for a long time..
Are we looking at late afternoon, early evening, or more of an overnight thing with the storms. Am I going to have to cancel another stinkin’ softball game? The weather is killing us.
Well, the low is still well to our west. Skies are just now starting to clear some in west TN and west KY. So I would think at least the afternoon if not evening before this stuff really cranks up.
Wxman, Friday was a really weird weather day! I just hope that today is not a repeat, with the tornadoes! I can handle storms, and even some hail, but Friday was just dangerous!
We had a little sun earlier this morning, but it did not last for long. If that is what is stirring it up, than I hope it stays cloudy the rest of the day! 😉
thanks for keeping us updated, Wxman, Mitch, and Chris!
here we go again. Glad to see everyone is okay after Friday’s storms, and I hope all had a happy Easter!
We r getting a few short-lived peeks of sun here in Bath Co. Temp is 62*
There’s the Tornado Watch…valid until 21:00. Here we go again…
The sun is out now here in Lex. and big storms firing up just west of I65. Could get interesting around here later. Keep an eye on the weather.
Sun is popping in and out in Lexington.
